Jordan took part of the attacks against Hezbollah, 33 dead, another Genocide !!!!
Jordanian F16s took part in the
strikes against Iranian proxy targets in Syria overnight Friday, a senior Middle East national security official confirmed to Fox News.
Jordan participated in the retaliatory strikes in part because the attack on U.S. forces took place inside Jordanian territory in violation of international law, the official said.
Additionally, there is a long history of Iran-backed proxy groups attacking Jordanian border areas regularly as part of an elaborate drug smuggling effort to finance Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps activities in Syria.
Iranian-backed militias have trafficked Captagon, a highly addictive amphetamine, as well as weapons in order to fund their operations. The smuggling efforts have destabilized societies in the Middle East, mostly in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Arab states, by introducing addictive drugs to the population.
Another Middle Eastern source added that prior to the 2003 invasion of Iraq by U.S. forces, Iran had no footholds in Iraq or Syria, Al Qaeda did not exist in Iraq, nor ISIS in Iraq or Syria.
